My kids love it.

Took hours for the first game, but it’s fun. New additional spaces compared to traditional Monopoly.

Great for fans of the original

I randomly stumbled upon this game one day, and being a huge fan of Monopoly as well as similar types of games, it immediately clicked with me. I heard this from some online forums claiming that with Monopoly being a terrible game, Mega Edition fixes seemingly every problem people may have with it. Of course, I ignored that first part, I was really just interested in trying out this game, the bigger board, and its new mechanics. And I was not disappointed in the slightest.I was able to gather together a group of 7 people, including myself, to test this out. Immediately it was apparent that the bigger would be better to support larger groups of players. The original game features 28 purchasable spaces, and this version has 36. It makes for more balanced games, giving everyone more property to work with, more money to deal with, and it becomes harder for a player to actually get a monopoly. In that sense, yes, it becomes a lot easier to get into. And I can back that up as a good 3 of the people I had been playing with, who originally hated the game, are now a lot more open to playing as long as we use this board. I was personally satisfied as this was a great expansion upon the original that did not fundamentally change how to play the game. Basically in the end, everyone was satisfied with this version of the game.Of other reviews of this game that I have seen, people seem to be complaining about two things – the time it takes to set up, and ‘customization’ because (apparently?) you can customize the board. I do not care at all for customizing the board, so if that scares you, just ignore it. I’m not even sure what they are referring to, but any kind of board customization is completely unnecessary. As for the set up time, it just takes as long as regular monopoly, and if you know how to do that efficiently, it takes 5 minutes.Overall, there is nothing I particularly find bad about this version of Monopoly. Everything is either an improvement or easy to overlook. Worst case scenario – just apply house rules so you can play how you want. I love, and I hope more fans of Monopoly get to experience this version.

The best version of monopoly other than Streets on Xbox 360

I love how big everything is and the implementation of the train depots work. You could bankrupt somebody on that alone. But skyscrapers are useless. Most game no one can even get to building them unless they own the brown and sky blue property. Also understand Speed Die before hand because arguments will happen once all property is owned and you or someone else rolls a Mr. Monopoly.

I really love.

I really like the games, I was shock because it so big, Now I need to arrange them and put them in my suitcase. Thanks for the service –

Perfect game

Love everything about this game. All pieces came.

Great expansion to the classic Monopoly game.

This is the expanded classic Monopoly version. The added features both make for a more engaging and exciting game which is usually faster paced than the original version but has enough of the original version intact for traditionalist players to also appreciate.

Not always great for two players

My 11 year old and I have been playing Monopoly for years. Sometimes the whole family plays, but she and I seem to be the most competitive and can play a couple games a day on a snowy weekend when trapped inside! :)We have almost worn out our Disney version and Classic version. We were in dire need of a challenging, new version of Monopoly. I haven’t been happy with UBuild and other versions that veer to far away from the original Monopoly in my opinion.I read about Mega Monopoly and decided to give it a try. It is a refreshing change from the original Monopoly, and we’ve had fun with the new bus tickets, third die and guidelines to the game.However, we’ve noticed when just the two of us play, it gets kind of ridiculous once all the properties are owned. At this point in the game- when Mr. Monopoly is rolled on the third die, one must move to the first property on which they own rent. The tips in the back of the directions recommend setting up ‘speed bumps’ by mortgaging (and possibly unmortgaging) properties to direct your opponents to your most expensive and built up deeds.When it’s only the two of us playing- essentially we, of course, mortgage the lower rent options, and each keep up one color of the most expensive. This basically turns the game into a “I get Mr. Moneybags…get sent to your skyscraper on North Carolina and give you a ton of $$$…. then next turn you get sent to my Tennessee with a skyscrpaer and just pay me back almost the same $$$….” until someone doesn’t have the money and goes bankrupt. No, you don’t roll Mr. Monopoly every single time, but we do roll him often enough (rules say 1 out of 3) that it gets really redundant. We could try making a rule that no mortgages are allowed at this point in the game- but that wouldn’t really be fair.Anyway, I can see how this game might be more fun with more players, but once all properties are sold with only two players- it feels kind of silly. The game is fun, but we’re a little bummed.
